In spring 2024, I embarked on a life-altering pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago, a journey that invited me to release my expectations, trust the path ahead, and embrace the unknown. Alongside fellow pilgrims—each at their own crossroads of life—I uncovered profound truths that had been gestating in my soul for over three decades.

In April 2011, four soldiers - each a hero of recent conflicts who suffered devastating injuries in the line of duty - set out on a challenge that even an able-bodied athlete would balk at: a 200 mile trek, unsupported, to the North Pole.
